Bobby Ryan is a player who enjoyed a successful career in the NHL. He had the talent to become one of the sport’s greats, but in the end, it didn’t happen for him. Now retired for three years, he’s not much in the news. However, in the last few days, that has changed – and not for the better.
It all started several years ago, when our ancestors were obsessed with X for a few days. He responded to a tweet from Meghan Chayka (John’s sister) about women’s basketball.
Basically, Chayka was saying that everyone was watching women’s basketball, and Ryan asked her to name seven players.
Name 7 players. Not 1. Not 2…5-7.
First and last names…go for it– Bobby Ryan (@Bobbyry5409) April 2, 2024
So he invited himself into the conversation and clearly, he started something.
And why? Because the next day, the former Senators player realized that everyone was tweeting about him. He replied to a lot of people, but mostly he tweeted (in a since-deleted tweet) that he just wanted to keep pretending that women’s sports didn’t exist.
Hey @Bobbyry5409, buzz off with this nonsense. pic.twitter.com/SmRw0trsru

You understand it didn’t go well for him.
I don’t know what he was thinking coming out publicly with comments like that, but also responding to a lot of people. He insulted people to no end and didn’t seem to be in control, let’s say. Here are a few examples, but there are dozens.
You’re all terrible

You sure? There really isn’t

Hey Chris Johnson I’m sorry this got a little further than you thought…while we use the word “nonsense” are we just going to skip over your conflict of interest? Or we gonna skip over it?
Have a great night!– Bobby Ryan (@Bobbyry5409) April 3, 2024
He started answering a lot of things, including the fact that he withdrew on his own terms, and he insulted himself when someone didn’t name seven players. He was also attacked in connection with his drinking problem.
Everywhere, he’s getting destroyed, and his controversy will undoubtedly follow him.
In a flurry
– Logical.
For a bit, he’s been on fire

#Habs Arber Xhekaj on seeing Juraj Slafkovský flip Aaron Ekblad on his back: “he’s a strong kid. I mean, I know he’s young but he’s an absolute house! He’s strong and he’s going to defend himself every time he can and I think that’s exactly what he needs to do.”

– That’s how it is in the NCAA.
“As is made customary and even commonplace, the Habs are likely to bow down to a player who has never played a game at the professional level. “https://t.co/ti74U8MEEv
